Why RapidRAMS Works for General Builders on Managed Sites

General builders waste hours correcting and re-submitting RAMS when the paperwork does not match the work on site. RapidRAMS generates documents based on the tasks your team is actually carrying out.

  • Matches the Work: Hazards and controls are generated from the building tasks you declare.
  • Consistent Output: RAMS are produced to a clear, reliable standard across everyday building work.
  • No Overreach: The system covers routine building tasks without extending into specialist or permit-controlled work.

✅ Typical General Builder Work Supported

Routine, non-specialist work commonly carried out by small and medium contractors across supported trades.

  • Refurbishment: Joinery, drylining, pointing, and non-structural repairs.
  • Access: MEWPS, scaffolding, towers, ladders, podiums.
  • Materials: Cement, mortar, plaster, sealants, and expanding foams.
  • Sites: Occupied offices, schools, retail units, and residential blocks.

⛔ Strictly Prohibited

RapidRAMS is intentionally limited to routine non-specialist work.

  • Asbestos removal or disturbance
  • Permit-controlled or specialist operations
  • Deep excavations (>1.2m) or confined spaces
  • Structural demolition or load-bearing wall removal

Why? These tasks require specialist permits and engineered planning.

Structured Logic vs Recycled Templates

Why builders use RapidRAMS on managed sites

Reused Word Templates

  • Static text:
    Copied from previous jobs with no link to the work actually being carried out.
  • No safety controls:
    Nothing prevents unsuitable or higher-risk activities being left in by mistake.
  • Obvious errors:
    Old site addresses, irrelevant hazards, and mismatched controls are easy to spot.
Outcome: Site managers reject generic RAMS because reused templates rarely match the job.

RapidRAMS Generator

  • Logic-driven output:
    Hazards and controls are created from the tasks, tools, and site details you declare.
  • Hard scope limits:
    RAMS are not produced for work that falls outside routine building activities.
  • Cleaner review:
    Documents are easier to follow and quicker for site teams to assess.
Traceable source: Every RAMS includes a digital signature and unique Trace ID.

Common Questions from General Builders

Clear answers on pricing, site acceptance, and scope.

Why is it £15? Is this a full RAMS document?

Yes. Each order produces a complete, professional RAMS document, typically 8–10 pages depending on the task.

RapidRAMS is priced at £15 because the document is generated through structured logic rather than manual consultancy time. You are paying for the finished RAMS output, not meetings, travel, or hourly administration.

Will site managers accept these RAMS?

Yes. Site managers regularly accept RapidRAMS documents because they reflect the actual work being planned, rather than generic wording.

Each document includes calculated risk scores, task-specific controls, method statements and a clear audit trail. A unique Trace ID and digital signature show the document was generated using structured logic, not copied from a previous job.

Do I need a subscription or ongoing account?

No. RapidRAMS operates on a pay-as-you-go basis.

You pay £15 per document, only when you need one. There are no subscriptions, recurring fees, or ongoing commitments.

Can I use this for structural work or extensions?

RapidRAMS is designed for routine, non-structural building work such as refurbishments, repairs, and fit-outs.

Structural demolition, deep excavations (greater than 1.2m), asbestos-related work, and other specialist activities are intentionally excluded. If a task falls outside scope, the system stops the process before payment.

How long does it take to receive the PDF?

Most users complete the form in a few minutes.

After submission and payment, the RAMS PDF is generated and emailed shortly after. Delivery depends on system processing and email delivery.
